409. Mazalcasuanin and His Wife An Pachdinajin.
Copyrighted, 1899, by T. W. Ingersoll.
No. 409. MAZAICASUANIN AND HIS WIFE AN PAOHDINAJIN.
Here is an Indian dandy and his bride. The buckskin costume of the man betrays Blackfoot origin. Upon this costume the wife has expended an immense amount of labor and Maziacasnanin is justly proud of his wardrobe. The bead work upon the woman's dress is extraordinary for its quantity and quality. Both costumes are made of deerskin, that of the woman having been dyed to suit her fancy. In the background is an Indian lodge, made from tanned skins, a style of building which is rapidly becoming extinct as the supply of large game is becoming scarcer and scarcer.
The skins of seven deer are required to make a costume for a brave and ten to twelve pelts go to make up a dress for a squaw.
The bead work upon either of these garments took months in the making, and is the very height of Indian fashion.
It is no uncommon thing for a beaded dress to weigh from twenty to forty pounds - no small load for the human frame to carry.
